Like Mother, Like Daughter is about Chloe, a troubled NYU student, who must uncover her mother's past in order to solve the mystery of her mother's disappearance. When Kat disappears, we are treated to many twists and turns until the truth is uncovered.

I found the story-line and the characters to be intriguing. However, it was very predictable. I do wish the final 2 twists would have been shockers instead of being as predictable as they were. I did enjoy the book though. It was a quick read.

Thank you to Knopf and NetGalley for the ARC.

Like Mother, Like Daughter by Kimberly McCreight is a slow burn suspense that sucked me right in. The dual POV between Kat and her daughter Cleo kept me wondering what was happening. When Kat disappears you learn some of her background growing up in a home and what she has been doing in her adult life. Cleo is a student but is also into some shady things at the college. Does that have something to do with why Kat is missing? There were a lot of red herrings throughout the book but once one detail was provided I figured out the ending.

Thank you NetGalley and Knopf, Pantheon, Vintage, and Anch for an ARC of Like Mother, Like Daughter by Kimberly McCreight for an honest review.

This book is a little predictable but it was still a good thriller. I enjoyed the dual perspectives. It kept you on your toes and waiting to see what was going to happen next. The mother/daughter relationship was very relatable which made the book more fun. While I didn't get any shocking twist like I enjoy in thriller books, this book was still a fun ride.

Thank you to the publisher for giving me the chance to read an early digital copy of Like Mother, Like Daughter by Kimberly McCreight. I have been a fan of McCreight ever since Reconstructing Amelia. That was in my pre-bookstagram days, and I have looked forward to her novels ever since. One thing is for certain, McCreight is the master at writing suspenseful, emotional stories about the mother-daughter relationship. Now that I myself am a mother, the lens at which I read her books makes them even more compelling. This is one that will have you racing through the pages to find out what is going to happen next. This is one that I found myself keep picking up every spare second because I had to know what was going to happen next. McCreight is definitely an auto-read, auto-buy author for me, and this one solidified that fact. 4/5 stars!

I knew by reading the summary of this book that I would be immersed in the pages and would not want to put it down, and I was right. From the very first few pages of the prologue, I was hooked. The words describing the ferocious love a mother has over her newborn child were written so accurately and perfectly and I knew exactly what the author was conveying. I have felt this love and protection, and could relate to those feelings and words. The book then starts with the then grown daughter driving to her mother’s house after her mother worriedly asked her to come. What she walks into is a scene of horror and her mother is nowhere to be found. So much unravels as Cleo searches for her mom and the reader is brought on a gripping emotional roller coaster ride with so many twists and turns. We hear from both mother and daughter and from the past and the present. I love the strong theme of the relationship between mother and daughter and the quest they both have to save each other before it is too late. I flew through this one in only three days and I bet you will, too!

3.75/5

I liked this one! Like Mother, Like Daughter is a thriller told in dual mother/daughter POV. Cleo, an NYU student, comes home to see her mother. When she gets to the house, she finds blood and signs of a struggle, with no sign of her mother. This sets the story up for Cleo to go looking for her missing mother. A lot of secrets are dug up from the past along the way as the story unravels.

What I liked about this thriller was the complicated mother/daughter relationship aspect and that this story really kept me guessing. I thought for sure I knew what was going to happen, but I did not guess the ending. A thriller based in New York is always fun too! What I didn’t love as much was that aside from the “exhibit” chapters (i.e. snippets of a therapy session, a letter, a news report, etc) I felt like some of the chapters were pretty long which really slowed down the pacing of the thriller there in the middle. Cleo also came across a little insufferable at times.

Overall I liked the story. It started off great and I liked the ending, it just dragged on a little for me in the middle. Thanks to NetGalley & the publisher for the advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

3.5 Stars

A very quick read for me. Told by alternating characters, the mother and daughter. I found some of the characters unlikable and there was a lot going on to keep track of. The ending seemed quick and I wish it went into a little more detail about her inheritance unless I somehow missed it.

A new author for me so I will check out her other books.

Thank You to Knopf for providing a gifted ARC through NetGalley.

Don't go into Kimberly McCreight's Like Mother, Like Daughter thinking it;s a popcorn thriller. Yes, it's twisty and engaging, but it's also about mother-daughter relationships and how secrets of the past can not only come back to haunt us, but can affect the way we live. Katrina's dark past isn't as far in the past as she hopes it is, and protecting Cleo might be beyond her control. I loved not only the novel's pacing, but the character development made me really care about what happened to each of them, except for Aiden, who is a character that I loved to hate.

Thank you Netgalley and Knopf for an advanced copy of “ Like Mother,Like Daughter”. This book took me on some turns I was NOT expecting. Cleo has a contentious relationship with her Mom and is going to meet up with her for dinner. Unfortunately , when she gets to her Moms house, she realizes something devastating happened. Where is her Mom? How well did she really know her mother? Did she ever know the truth? This book had me going , “ WHAT?!” more times than I care to count in the best way possible.

Cleo’s mother, Kat, begs for Cleo to come home but when she arrives, mom is gone, dinner is burned and there is a bloody shoe! Both Cleo and her mother have kept secrets from each other that must be uncovered as Cleo is determined to locate her mother! But is she murdered or kidnapped!
This one kept me reading!

A mom goes missing and everyone is suspicious.
I’m always a sucker for a twisty gem.

I have been behind in my ARCs and realized this one was being published and also a BOTM picked so I raced to get it in. I wish I had done this sooner! This was an enjoyable fast paced twisty thriller that kept me guessing! I really enjoyed it! I look forward to checking out some of her other books!

Like Mother, Like Daughter is a quick paced suspenseful read. It delves into the complexities of the mother/daughter relationship.

The relationship between a mother and daughter is never easy, but in this situation, there are more issues than what is typical. Add to this a missing person, secrets from the past and current day crime coverups, and you have one crazy story!

Cleo and her mom, Kat, couldn't be more opposite, or so she thinks. Clearly comes home to find her mother missing and blood in the kitchen, which puts her on a journey of finding out who her mom really is and what happened to her. This one was full of family drama, stories about the past, and learning that we may never really know who our parents are. I really enjoyed this story, as it kept me guessing and wanting to know what happened to Kat. Was she dead or alive? Was her husband actually a good person? I loved the look inside a seemingly good family and the secrets they were hiding.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the e-ARC if this book to review. It is out now!!

Like Mother, Like Daughter by Kimberly McCreight was a gripping psychologic thriller that captured my attention from the beginning.

The story focused on mother, Kat who is a fixer lawyer at a firm, and her daughter, Cleo who is. College student at NYU. Cheo arrives at her mother's house for dinner to find things are out of if place, signs of foul play and her mother missing.

The story has multiple POV and jumps from past to present and keeps you guessing until the end as twists, secrets and the past come to light.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and the author, for an ARC of this book, in exchange for an honest review.
The premise of the book drew me in but once I started reading it, I just couldn’t get into it at all.
I wish the author, publisher and all those promoting the book much success and connections with the right readers.

Like Mother like daughter a little like The Firm only way more suspenseful. Mother daughter relationships are never easy but Cleo finally agrees to to meet her mom Kat for dinner only Kats not there. A burned dinner and blood left behind. With a bunch of different characters and they’re all a suspect. Great read!!

Like Mother, Like Daughter by Kimberly McCreight is a gripping thriller that delves into the strained relationship between Cleo and her mother, Kat. When Cleo discovers her mother missing and signs of a struggle at their Brooklyn home, she uncovers shocking truths about Kat’s life.

Kat, seemingly a perfect corporate lawyer, is actually a skilled fixer facing multiple threats, including blackmail and dangerous secrets from her past. As Cleo searches for her, the narrative alternates between her frantic efforts and flashbacks revealing Kat’s hidden struggles.

McCreight expertly builds suspense while exploring the complexities of the mother-daughter bond. The characters are well-developed, and the plot is filled with twists that keep readers on edge.

Like Mother, Like Daughter is a thrilling, emotionally charged novel that captivates with its blend of suspense and family drama. A must-read for fans of psychological thrillers.

While you may be done with the past, the past is not always done with you. This novel is a wonderful look at the uniquely fraught relationship between mother and daughter framed within a plot that launches with breakneck speed.

Cleo is running late for dinner with her mom at her childhood home. When she gets there she finds food burning in the oven & no sign of her mother... other than a bloody shoe. Where is her mom? What has happened to her? In the hours following her mom's disappearance, Cleo tries to unravel what was going on in her mother‘s life before her disappearance and needs to realize that many things are not what they seem. Has something come back from her mother's distant past to haunt her or is simple greed the answer ?
What a wild ride this book was! I went into this book blind- I didn't even read the synopsis before reading because the cover was intriguing enough to make me want to read it. I enjoyed this mother and daughter duo and it was easy to see how protecting your kids from certain evils you might unknowingly expose them to others. Here her own upbringing has made Cleo’s mom overprotective and even overbearing. I loved seeing the character development in Cleo and the focus on a difficult mother/daughter relationship.
The writing is amazing, the author held and kept my attention with short chapters and alternating POVs.
